Mobile heavy equipment glass in New Britain, Connecticut

ClearCab Equipment Glass brings the glass truck to New Britain: flat stock, pattern cutting gear and setting materials, priced from the rates published on this site.

New Britain runs more heavy iron per square mile than almost anywhere else we service. Quarry loaders, demo excavators working the old factory blocks, and a public works fleet that plows, sweeps and digs year round. All of that is glass exposure: quarry rock chips windshields the way gravel chips a pickup, just bigger.

Demolition work around the Hardware City factory blocks is its own category. Wire-embedded old window glass, brick dust, and grapples working overhead mean front windshields and skylight panes on demo excavators here take more hits than anywhere else on our route. We keep laminated stock sized for the common Cat and Volvo demo cabs.

For the city and contractor fleets, we set up standing accounts: one call, we come to the yard, and every machine with cracked or fogged glass gets handled in a single visit instead of five separate service tickets.

Quarry haze, the slow glass killer

Quarry machines in New Britain rarely break glass all at once. They sandblast it slowly: a year of trap rock spray leaves a windshield so hazed that operators are squinting into morning sun on the east face. If your loader operator complains about glare before 9am, the windshield is due, and a hazed pane fails the visibility expectations OSHA sets for material handling equipment even when nothing is cracked.
